More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light...
Woodrow Wilson
Washington has seldom seen so numerous, so industrious or so insidious a lobby. There is every evidence that money without limit is being spent to sustain this lobby.... I know that in this I am speaking for the members of the two houses, who would rejoice as much as I would to be released from this unbearable situation.
Woodrow Wilson
The right is more precious than peace.
Woodrow Wilson
The man who has no vision will undertake no great enterprise.
Woodrow Wilson
If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience.
Woodrow Wilson
A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about.
Woodrow Wilson
We are in the presence of a new organization of society. Our life has broken away from the past.
Woodrow Wilson
There is here a great melting pot in which we must compound a precious metal. That metal is the metal of nationality.
Woodrow Wilson
As a matter of fact and experience, the more power is divided the more irresponsible it becomes.
Woodrow Wilson
Every man who takes office in Washington either grows or swells, and when I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is swelling or growing. The mischief of it is that when they swell, they do not swell enough to burst.
Woodrow Wilson
The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific and now the plot thickenswith the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.
Woodrow Wilson
I had rather have everybody on my side than be armed to the teeth.
Woodrow Wilson
The princes among us are those who forget themselves and serve others.
Woodrow Wilson
The history of liberty is the history of limitations on the power of government, not the increase of it. When we resist, therefore, the concentration of power, we are resisting the processes of death, because concentration of power is what always precedes the destruction of human liberties.
Woodrow Wilson
The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates.
Woodrow Wilson
Unless justice be done to others it will not be done to us.
Woodrow Wilson
Surely a man has come to himself only when he has found the best that is in him, and has satisfied his heart with the highest achievement he is fit for.
Woodrow Wilson
Every people has a right to choose the sovereignty under which they shall live.
Woodrow Wilson
Uncompromising thought is the luxury of the closeted recluse. Untrammeled reasoning is the indulgence of the philosopher, of the dreamer of sweet dreams.
Woodrow Wilson
I have received delegations of working men who, apparently speaking with the utmost sincerity, have declared that they would regard it as a genuine hardship if they were deprived of their beer, for example.
Woodrow Wilson
